Why You're Not Losing Weight (It's Not What You're Eating)

from Menopause Mastery · host Dr. Betty Murray

Doing "all the right things" and still can't lose weight? It's not your thyroid, your willpower, or your discipline. It's something deeper. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Powter, weight loss & mindset expert, to unpack the real reason women struggle with weight in midlife. We're diving into childhood programming, self-sabotage patterns, and why that nightly glass of wine is doing more damage than you think. This conversation gets real, raw, and practical, because you deserve to understand what's really going on. What You'll Discover: ● The childhood messages about food still running your life (without you knowing it) ● The #1 mindset shift: stop being a perfectionist ● What self-sabotage actually is ● Why decision fatigue makes you eat at night ● The alcohol truth: it blocks fat burning for TWO DAYS after one drink ● How chronic dehydration slows your metabolism by 30% ● Why your feelings are NOT facts (and how to take action anyway) ● The basics that work: hydration, vegetables, strength training, consistency It's not all in your head. Your struggles are real, but fixable. Watch the full episode and take your power back. If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs it.  Resources & Links: ● Website https://www.jenniferpowter.com/ ● Follow Jen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenpowter ● FREE Smart Weight Loss Kickstart Course: https://www.powtermethod.com/register-og Connect with Dr. Betty Murray  ● Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ● Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links ● Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ● FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ● Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ● Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts →  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247  Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.
